How do I send my badge data?

We ask that all data is sent to us by the deadline provided so that badge production remains on schedule. It may be possible to print last minute data, however this is not guaranteed.

Please email us at office@hunteroperations.co.uk and we will do our best to accommodate any late data.

Our eco badges work with most lanyard clips (single and double hook) as well as our badge clips (AT2).

Yes! Our badges are all made from uncoated FSC paper.

We supply packs of plain badge paper which you can print yourself. You can find design templates and instructions on printing and data merging here.

You can print onto our badges using most printers. To ensure the printer doesn’t jam please make sure you are using the thickest media type/paper weight settings.

Our eco-friendly butterfly badges come as 246 GSM A4 sheets for printing (190gsm with a 56gsm liner). Most printers are rated to print with a maximum setting of either 222gsm or 256gsm thickness.

We recommend using a printer rated with a maximum media thickness of 256gsm or higher.

RPET is recycled and recyclable PET (polyethylene terephthalate) which comes from recycled plastic, often sourced from items like soft drink packaging.

It’s a fantastic choice for making your events more sustainable as it can be recycled repeatedly to produce new products!

Our eco card-only name badges are made from responsibly sourced, recyclable card that’s FSC Certified. A durable 380 GSM means you don’t need a plastic holder and can directly use them with any lanyard you like.

They can be recycled in your regular paper and card recycling, even the backing. Either take your used badges to your local recycling centre or pop them in your usual cardboard recycling.
